  • 1cupchopped onion

  • 1cupchopped celery

  • 2(1.2 ounce) packagesdry turkey gravy mix

  • 1pinchground white pepper, or to taste

  • 3(14.5 ounce) canschicken broth, or more as needed

  • 1 ¾cupsturkey drippings

  • ¼cupquick-mixing flour (such as Wondra®)

  • ½cupmilk, or as needed (Optional)

Cooking Directions

  1. Place giblets and turkey neck into a large saucepan. Add onion, celery, turkey gravy mix, and white pepper. Pour chicken broth over all, bring to a simmer over medium-low heat, and cook for 30 minutes.

  2. Remove turkey liver and set aside. Simmer stock for 2 1/2 more hours.

  3. Remove remaining giblets from stock and chop with liver; set aside. Strain stock into a liquid measure. You should have about 3 cups; add more chicken broth if needed. Pour stock into a saucepan. Discard strained turkey neck and vegetables.

  4. When turkey is finished roasting, pour pan drippings into a bowl or fat separator and skim off fat. Whisk quick-mixing flour into drippings until smooth, then whisk flour mixture into stock in the saucepan. Bring gravy to a simmer over medium heat, whisking constantly. Add chopped giblets. Stir in milk until desired smoothness is reached.

Editor’s Notes:

This recipe assumes that the turkey will produce about 1 1/2 cups of drippings after skimming. Actual amount may vary.

The nutrition data for this recipe includes the full amount of the stock ingredients. The actual amount of the ingredients consumed will vary. The nutrition data also includes the full amount of fat from the pan drippings, although the recipe calls for skimming the fat.
